In the one-hundred-and-seventy-seventh episode, we explore the Halo Effect, starting with Trump's constant comments on the attractiveness of pilots and generals, his amazement at Transport Secretary Sean Duffy's ability to climb both up and down trees, and his reluctance to hire John Bolton and Janet Yellen.
In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Peter Bone MP's defense of Boris Johnson, arguments for and against voting for Farage in Clacton, and David Cameron's sartorial attack on Jeremy Corbin.
In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Britain's Got Talent, Hot in Cleveland, and a UX research company.
Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.
Then we talk about Iran.
And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.
